Natural stone manufacturers and suppliers in India
  • Our life is surrounded by natural stones like
    marble, granite, graphite, etc.
  • Natural Stone is any rock found in nature that is
    used for building or decorative purposes and like
    all rock, it was formed by natural geological
    processes over thousands, millions or even
    hundreds of millions of years.
  • Every piece of natural stone is a wholly unique
    blend of colors and minerals. Each type of stone
    will have its own specific properties. India
    ranks third in terms of global production of
    natural stones and accounts for an 11 percent
    share of the global market. Rajasthan is a major
    contributor to the country's mining output.
  • Let us take a look at some natural stones that we
    use in our daily lives.

The most common types of natural stones
  • Granite - Granite is a hard-edged stone with a
    beautiful natural grain. If a stone was formed by
    volcanic activity or melting, we call it a
    Magmatic stone. Granites are an example of the
    magmatic stone. These stones were formed when
    liquid magma cooled and became very hard. All
    granites are also Siliceous stones, which means
    they are composed from silicates like feldspar,
    mica, and quartz.
  • Region and major cities where granite quarried
    include-Udaipur, Jalore, Jhansi, Jaipur. On the
    basis of color granite can be classified into
    black, red, green, gold, yellow, pink, grey, and
    blue.
  • The exact mix and orientation of these crystals,
    plus the mineral and chemical reactions that took
    place over millions of years formed all those
    unique kinds of granite that we see today. As a
    result of these processes, granite is very hard,
    resistant to most household chemicals, and often
    freeze/thaw stable.

The most common types of natural stones
  • Limestone -Limestone is composed mostly of the
    minerals calcite and aragonite, which are
    different crystal forms of calcium carbonate
    (CaCO3). Dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2, is an uncommon
    mineral in limestone, and siderite or other
    carbonate minerals are rare.
  • Limestone is commonly white to gray in color.
    Limestone that is unusually rich in organic
    matter can be almost black in color, while traces
    of iron or manganese can give limestone an
    off-white to yellow to red color. 
  • Over three-fourths of the total limestone of
    India is produced by Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan,
    Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Tamil
    Nadu.

The most common types of natural stones
  • Sandstone - India is a leading country found in
    Rajasthan and yield different colours and
    patterns in sandstone highly used in front
    elevation decorations.
  • Mint fossils, Agra Red, Ray Green, and Teak known
    varieties of sandstone sell in domestic as well
    as international market.
  • Travertine stone - Travertine slabs and tiles
    are a preferred type of natural stone for
    homeowners and architects with its reasonable
    cost and quite a wide usage area. With its soft
    texture and soft colors, Travertine provides a
    sophisticated look to your home designs.
    Travertine is classified as a sedimentary stone
    and is a form of limestone. 
  • The Karur-Kangayam and Hole-Narsipur belts, in
    the southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu and
    Karnataka, respectively, are famous throughout
    the subcontinent for their gemstones, including
    sapphire, moonstone, iolite, aquamarine, garnet,
    sunstone and corundum. The city of Karur itself
    is well known for rubies.
